2 Day Gorilla Safari Rwanda

Day 1: Kigali City tour and transfer to Volcanoes National park.
On arrival from the airport, you will be received by our own representative who will take you for a city tour in Kigali. You will appreciate that Rwanda is surely a land of thousand hills. The city is well maintained and clear with hospitable people. You will visit the genocide memorial sites, the national museum and the local markets where you can buy for yourself a souvenir.Have lunch and after proceed to Volcanoes National Park in Ruhengeri. It’s a famous home for about 360 Mountain gorillas. We arrive late and check in to our desired lodges, these ranges from luxury, moderate and budget. Whichever you decide take up; you will enjoy a beautiful view of the volcanoes. As you go to sleep, you will reflect on the adventurous day of tracking the gorillas tomorrow. Dinner and overnight

Day 2: Mountain Gorilla Tracking and transfer back to Kigali.
With an early morning breakfast, head out to the park’s headquarters for briefing about gorillas and meeting the rangers. Hiking through the hills will be breathtaking as you see other primates. Tracking the gorillas requires some level of physical fitness and the activity takes about 2 to 8 hours. But all this depends on where the gorillas were the previous day. Getting a chance to see them face to face will be exhilarating, you will see them in groups and as they do their daily routine work, some playing, resting, feeding and the mothers feeding their young ones. You are kindly asked to keep a distance as you watch them. When taking pictures, remember to remove your flash because light distracts them. You are only given one hour of staying in the presence of the gorillas. After a remarkable day in your life, get back to the headquarters and meet your driver. Transfer back to the airport for your flight back home and say farewell to Rwanda.
